Car ran out of oil and died while driving. Replaced the oil. Tried to start it and it will turn over but not start. Tried disconnecting the battery and resetting the security light that came on and nothing is working. What is wrong?

try resetting security first, turn key to on and leave until light goes out or up to 10 minutes. turn off and then try tostart car. However, as you ran it out of oil it may have siezed the engine, Make sure engine oil level is full before starting as well.
